Jewel Maybe Had Breast Implants?

GossipRocks


Jewel has had busty days and more recently kinda deflated days. This could easily be due to the sequence of breast implant surgery years ago with later simple implant removal. When removing implants from long ago, it often helps to add a "take up the slack" lift to keep the sag down.

DMX Didn't Pay his Hospital Bill?

TMZ

Rapper DMX has been accused of defrauding an Arizona hospital of their bill. There is some talk that he "could be charged with 'theft of services' and providing the hospital with 'false information including name and address for billing purposes.'"

This happens to plastic surgeons with Emergency patients all the time. The fact that we can be obligated to take ER call and serve emergency patients, but there is no good way to make people pay their bills gets old. Health insurance companies argue the bill sometimes for years and/or try to pay a fraction of it especially when plastic surgeons are involved. I just bill the patient.

Drug Expiration or ?

Redorbit

Drug expiration dates are kinda a gimmick. I don't recommend that you take an expired drug, but I have taken some. Read this article to see why.

A Promotion Patient Before Her Breast Augmentation

I did this case a few months ago. This is a brief clip before her surgery. I recently saw the television spot (for German Television,) and I am not in much of it. Oh, well. Maybe I should call it the promotion that really didn't promote much.

LOL.

Holly Madison's Breasts - Contracture

Drunken Stepfather Post

Jesus at DrunkenStepfather (my favorite obnoxious NSFW blog) comments on the uneven nipple position of Holly Madison. Most women have some difference in nipple position between breasts, but with implants a larger difference can represent capsular contracture or internal breast scarring. Without knowing whether or not implants are present or where she stood before implant surgery, it is impossible to know what is going on here, but there is enough here to fix. I'd wager that she has implants.

Christy Turlington Good Genes-or-Good-Docs on TMZ

TMZ - pics

TMZ provides images of a very pretty Christy Turlington with obvious nasal work over the years. She is well preserved but with a bit of a thin nasal dorsum to my tastes at least facially.

Press Release- Dr D publishes "Unusual Labial Rejuvenation" in Journal Of Sexual Medicine

Here's a press release on my latest medical journal publication for those interested.

--



Recent concern in the medical community has been focused upon discretionary surgery of the female genitalia. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in September of last year cautioned its members to be wary of procedures promoted as “designer vaginoplasty,” “revirgination,” and “G-spot amplification.” Dr John Di Saia, a board certified plastic surgeon in Orange County California, presents a case demonstrating his technique of safe cosmetic labiaplasty to demonstrate that within limitations these operations can be safely offered to appropriate patients with pleasing results.




Orange County, Ca -- The world of Cosmetic surgery has seemingly become a carnival arena spiced with Internet cliques and sensationalistic television shows. Surgery has become a commodity of sorts and in the hyperbole that has been born the medical community has started to interject itself.

In September of 2007, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists warned its members to be wary of vaginal surgical procedures offered by practitioners claiming to enhance appearance or sexual gratification. The piece advised that member physicians advise their patients to consider these operations of unproven effectiveness with potentially serious complications.

“Over the seven years that I have been offering reduction labiaplasty, the experience has been pretty good,” Dr John Di Saia explains. “The key in safely offering surgery in this area is to focus upon external structures and apply proper technique. The operation described in the recent publication was fairly extensive so it was performed in two parts. Staging surgery in this manner is designed to limit complications.” Long-term problems in the doctor’s cases have been virtually non-existent as he has improved his operation over the past few years. He understands the concerns of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, but would emphasize that reduction labiaplasty performed by an experienced surgeon on the external genitalia alone is safe and effective.

“I do not present these operations to the patient as the cure for an ailing sex life, but my patients have of course been concerned with appearance. Why else would they seek the services of a plastic surgeon?” the doctor adds. Patients presenting for labiaplasty have predominantly sought reduction of their external inner “lips” for reasons including discomfort in tight clothing, embarrassment and cosmetic displeasure. The doctor performs these operations under anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility.
